Dear Juno or any other teenager in this situation,
What you did was incredibly irresponsible. Bringing a child into this world when you aren't ready to be a parent is a very dangerous and reckless thing to do, but the way you handled your situation was very impressive.
You could have easily terminated your pregnancy and avoided all of the problems that came forth due to your pregnancy, but you didn't You gave a woman who didn't have the ability to have children such a wonderful gift. Carrying a baby to term and actually giving birth is an emotionally and physically straining thing to do. The fact that you went through that even though you didn't want to keep the baby is a very honorable thing to do.
I believe you were entitled to your choice of choosing an abortion or not and you made the decision that was right for you. Not a lot of women are able to go through that and handle it as maturely as you did. Many women end up getting attached and keeping their child, but it takes an immensely strong woman to give their kid up for adoption. You understood that you wouldn't be able to give that baby the wonderful life it deserves and made one of the hardest decisions a woman can make, and you handled it with grace.
Personally, I think your choice of not having an abortion and giving your child up for adoption was an experience that you learned so much from, you grew more as a person through that experience than you would have if you had an abortion.
